Charming Port Fairy & Wine Tasting

Investigate a town voted the “world’s most livable small community” and taste some wines that make life here even better. A scenic hour’s drive from Portland along Victoria’s infamous Shipwreck Coast, Port Fairy certainly does not want for charm. You’ll be instantly captivated by its whitewashed whalers’ cottages, grand Georgians, old stone churches, Norfolk pine-shaded streets, and scenes of fisherman unloading their daily catches along a bustling waterfront. It’s also got more than its fair share of galleries, craft shops, cafes, pubs and boutiques. This all does seem to make it a great place to live – and to wander about with your time at leisure here, seeing what there is to see. Eventually, you’ll rejoin the coach and head to the cellar door of nearby Suffoir Winery for your tour and tasting. Located amidst stunning landscape and just a stone’s throw from UNESCO listed Budj Bim, Suffoir Winery is a family-owned business specializing in Pinor Noir grapes of the region. The winery practices sustainability and authenticity. Following your tasting, you’ll re-board your coach and travel back to the pier..
